River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

Avoiding the ‘One‐Size‐Fits‐All’ Trap in Policy‐Based Monitoring
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policy‐based monitoring programmes often fail to yield the information required to assess and improve policies and plans. A dominant cause of this problem is the ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ (OSFA) trap—a failure to recognise that several, complementary types of monitoring are required to support effective policy.

Long‐Term Effects of Low‐Drop Grade Control Structures on Channel Evolution in the Yazoo River Basin
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Channel incision is a widespread problem, especially in river basins that have an extensive history of channel alterations. Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Columbia river provides the largest Pacific outflow in the Western Hemisphere and the greatest hydropower production of any North American river system. For hydropower generation and flood risk management, four massive water storage reservoirs followed the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, with three Canadian dams,

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.
